A cheerful little red box came in the mail from Love with Food -- they sent me their October box (please note: I received this box for free to review -- however, all opinions in this post are mine, and honest).
First up in the box were some toasted coconut chips from Dang - and man, are these things good. My toddler son and I plowed through the whole bag in less than 10 minutes and were left wanting more (seriously, we'll be seeking out more of these ASAP)! I was pleased with the size of these as well...enough for a decent sized snack or two! Contrast that with the chocolate pizzelle crisps from Silk City Snacks, which tasted more like cardboard with a slight hint of chocolate than anything else -- yuck, wouldn't eat those again.
Next we have a Kind Bar from Kind snacks, pixo pearls from Vinaigerie Gingras (apple cider vinegar pearls), two small packs of Glee gum in triple berry, and three organic hard candies from Torie & Howard (d'anjou pear & cinnamon flavor). The Kind bar was tasty, if not very exciting or new to me. The Glee gums were, I swear, stale. I don't know if that's how their gums tend to be since I've never tried them before, but it was a real turnoff (too bad, because the triple berry flavor was nice otherwise). The hard candies from Torie & Howard were AMAZING and delicious! I was really saddened, however, that there were only THREE little candies in the box, and was left wanting more -- three felt really stingy. The apple cider vinegar pearls....well, let's just say that I was a *little* too freaked out by them to actually try them. They're totally see-through pearls surrounded in liquid -- I just had NO idea what I would even do with them!
Finally, we got a Happy Squeeze pouch from Happy Family, which my toddler quickly grabbed and ate within a minute of seeing it (yum!) and two New World Caveman Cookies by Caveman bakery, which weren't horrible, but were WAY too sweet for my taste (they are, however, OK to eat for those on the Paleo diet, which might be useful for some).
Overall, I was not a huge fan of this box (too few snacks for the price and many of the snacks I didn't love), but if this selection appeals to you, you can use the code FESTIVE2013 for $5 your subscription (valid until 12/1), and for every 6 and 12 month subscription right now you will get a bonus 2 year subscription to Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine (also valid for current subscribers switching their plans to 6 or 12 month plans) -- valid until 12/1 as well. Thanks to Love with Food for letting me try and review their box!
